Model S followed the Roadster, making Tesla a real car company.If it hasn’t happened by the time you read this, Tesla’s stock price son will reach $300 per share. That’s an amazing number for a relatively low volume car company that continues to lose money. The latest uptick in price came when the company announced it had sold more than 25,000 vehicles in the first quarter of the year, beating analysts’ forecasts. Of that number, approximately 13,450 were the handsome but aging Model S sedan and the remainder the Model X SUV with its troublesome “falcon” rear doors. This gives the upstart electric vehicle maker a market capitalization greater than that of the Ford Motor Company.

Once a concept, now the real thing?Will there be a hot Subaru BRZ? It’s a question everyone is asking, especially the dealers. Or they were. The dealer we spoke with says the sporty Subaru will get a high-performance model in the 2014 model year. Details are scarce, but you can be certain Subaru will tap its turbocharging experience to pump up the power of the 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer motor. Just don’t look for all-wheel-drive. This is strictly a rear-drive exercise.
